Best Answer

Waltzes are usually in 3/4 time, which means there are three quarter notes per measure, which in this case is the same as saying 3 beats per measure.

You would count a waltz as "ONE two three, ONE two three,"

As for how many beats in a whole WALTZ, it really depends on how long the waltz is...but the number will almost always be divisible by 3!
